QUICK Qs: What Biblical Holiday Would You Create?

What would happen if we created brand new holidays based on our favorite biblical stories? That's exactly what we explore in this joyful, imaginative segment of Boundless Bible.

Diving into scripture with fresh eyes, Javi shares his dream of a holiday celebrating King David's uninhibited dance before the Ark of the Covenant. Imagine a day dedicated to pure, unfiltered worship—where like David, we cast aside dignity and self-consciousness to express our joy before God with our entire beings. As Javi puts it, "that must have been the time of his life," a moment worth commemorating through music and movement.

Jason takes us to the valley of dry bones from Ezekiel 37, envisioning a holiday centered on restoration and new life. The vivid imagery of scattered bones coming together, taking on flesh, and receiving the breath of God speaks to Jason on a profound level. His proposed celebration focuses on sharing hope, bringing communities together, and demonstrating how God revitalizes what appears lifeless and forgotten.

Meanwhile, David suggests a playful summer holiday commemorating Jesus walking on water. Picture beach gatherings where people attempt to "walk" across the surface before inevitably splashing in—a lighthearted yet meaningful way to remember one of Christ's most iconic miracles. This blend of reverent commemoration and joyful play perfectly captures how scripture continues to inspire both awe and delight in our modern lives.
